“Having not one, but two of our flagship bourbon whiskeys
achieve platinum status at the most prestigious spirits competition
in the U.S., is simply incredible,” said Logan Welk, President and
Chief Operating Officer, B.R. Distilling Company. “Every spirit
brand likes to speak to the quality of their products; very few
have the external affirmation of the world’s most respected blind
tasting panel. To do this once was an achievement, twice amazing,
and now three times is extraordinary. We are proud of the
consistency of our products - all presented at an approachable
value - and this incredibly rare achievement underscores our team’s
dedication to making world-class Kentucky straight bourbon with a
signature Memphis twist.”
Blue Note bourbon is artfully crafted to honor the rich blues
music that is synonymous with Memphis. The whiskey portfolio is
distilled in partnership with Bardstown Bourbon Company (parent
company of Green River Distilling Company) and then aged just north
of downtown Memphis where the Mississippi and Wolf Rivers collide.
The long summers filled with the infamous Memphis heat and cooler
evenings forces the whiskey deep into the oak, creating an
unmistakably rich flavor that’s bold yet smooth.
Blue Note Juke Joint ($34.99) features a mash bill of 70% corn,
21% rye, and 9% malted barley, and is bottled at 93-proof,
unfiltered. Conversely, Blue Note Crossroads ($44.99) highlights
two different mash bills: 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley and
78% corn, 13% rye, 9% malted barley, and is finished with several
types of toasted French oak staves and bottled at 100-proof,
unfiltered. The flagship portfolio also features Blue Note Uncut
and the recently introduced Blue Note Rye, in addition to several
highly awarded limited-release offerings, which include Premium
Small Batch, Single Barrel Reserve, 17-year, and Special
Reserve.
Blue Note’s whiskey portfolio is currently distributed in 17
U.S. states and online at BlueNote.com. Please follow Blue Note on
